Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Completing The Square</em><em>:</em></h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

<em><u>x = 8 or x = -2</u></em>

Explanation:

First we need to find the amount of the diet that is fruit. (It is what is not biscuits or bamboo.) The quantity is given per day, so we need to multiply that by the number of days in 3 weeks.

(1 - 23% -73%)·(1100 g/day)·(7 day/week)·(3 week) = (44 g/day)·(21 day)

= 924 g . . . . of fruit

Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Polygon X is similar to polygon.

And Polygon X is three times the size of polygon Y.

So, it becomes,

$\dfrac{\text{Perimeter of polygon X}}{\text{Perimeter of polygon Y}}=\dfrac{3}{1}\\\\\dfrac{81}{x}=\dfrac{3}{1}\\\\x=\dfrac{81}{3}\\\\x=27$

Hence, perimeter of polygon Y is 27.

Therefore, Option 'C' is correct.
